BILL NUMBER:S440B
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to providing alcoholic beverages on credit
Purpose
To permit wine and liquor retailers to extend store credit to businesses and corporations.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends section 100 of the alcoholic beverage control law by adding a section 6 that exempts retail licensees from the section 5 restriction when selling, delivering, giving away, or causing, permitting, or procuring to be sold, delivered, or given away, alcoholic beverages to businesses or corporations on credit.
Section two provides the effective date
Justification
Currently, a wine and liquor retailer may accept credit cards for payment of merchandise, but may not extend its own credit. This is often problematic with large corporate customers or business customers ordering for an event, since a retailer is not able to deliver the product and then send an invoice for payment. Corporate and business customers are instead required to pay up front, in advance of delivery. By lifting this restriction, wine and liquor retailers can bill though the use of an invoice and operate in conformance with standard business practices.
